The hoverboard scooter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.19 billion in 2023 to $8.67 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to the viral popularity and cultural trend, the impact of celebrity endorsements, the surge in personal mobility devices, the rise in challenges associated with urban commuting, and the growth of e-commerce and online retail.

The hoverboard scooter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to factors such as the accessibility of manufacturing, the influence of social media marketing and user-generated content, competitive pricing and affordability, the integration of advanced safety features, the expansion of the electric mobility market, the adoption of hoverboards in recreational and sports activities, and the availability of customization options for personalized hoverboard designs. Key trends projected for the forecast period include innovative design and engineering of hoverboards, technological advancements in battery technology, the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly materials, collaborations between hoverboard brands and tech companies, the integration of smart technologies, the use of AI for improved stability and user experience, and continued customization options for personalized hoverboard designs.

The anticipated growth in the hoverboard scooter market is expected to be propelled by the increasing trend of green mobility. Green mobility involves the adoption of environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation modes that have a lower environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles. Hoverboard scooters, being battery-powered and emission-free, align with the principles of green mobility. They present a convenient and eco-conscious solution for short-distance commuting, particularly in urban areas. As of September 2022, data from the International Energy Agency revealed a nearly doubled electric car sales figure of 6.6 million compared to 2020, resulting in a total of 16.5 million electric vehicles on the road. Additionally, information from the North American Bikeshare Association (NABSA) in August 2022 indicated that the percentage of cities with shared e-scooter systems increased to 64% in 2021, up from 58% in 2020 and 52% in 2019. Thus, the growing trend of green mobility is a key driver for the growth of the hoverboard scooter market.

The surge in urbanization is expected to contribute to the growth of the hoverboard scooter market. Urbanization, defined as the increasing growth and expansion of cities often accompanied by population migration from rural to urban areas, sees hoverboard scooters playing a pivotal role. They provide a compact and efficient last-mile transportation solution, contributing to enhanced mobility and addressing challenges in congested urban environments. As of April 2022, the World Economic Forum reported that over 4.3 billion people, equivalent to 55% of the world's population, lived in urban settings, with projections indicating a rise to 80% by 2050. Hence, the upward trajectory of urbanization is a significant factor driving the hoverboard scooter market.

The anticipated growth in the hoverboard scooter market is expected to be propelled by increasing environmental concerns. Environmental concerns encompass adverse impacts of human activity on the environment, spanning issues such as deforestation, air pollution, and acid precipitation. Hoverboards stand out as one of the most environmentally friendly modes of commuting, as they generate no pollutants and require no fuel. This makes them a significant contributor to reducing an individual's carbon footprint. As of March 2023, data from the International Energy Agency indicated a 0.9% increase in global CO2 emissions from energy in 2022, reaching a record of over 36.8 gigatons. Additionally, in April 2023, information from Canada.ca, a Canadian government agency, reported a 1.8% increase in Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions from 659 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2020 to 670 megatons in 2021. Consequently, growing environmental concerns are a driving force behind the growth of the hoverboard scooter market.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the hoverboard scooter market. Key companies within the market are adopting innovative technologies to maintain their competitive positions. For example, in October 2022, Swagtron, a US-based electric rideable manufacturing company, introduced the Shuttle Zipboard, the second generation of hoverboards designed for kids and teens. This hoverboard combines elements of skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding to provide an exhilarating riding experience. Equipped with self-balancing technology, the Shuttle Zipboard offers precise control for riders of all skill levels on various terrains. Noteworthy features include a patented LiFePo battery known for durability and safety, providing a range of up to 3–5 miles on a single charge. With its cutting-edge design and advanced features such as LED lights and a Bluetooth speaker, the Shuttle Zipboard delivers a unique and enjoyable riding experience for young riders.

Major companies in the hoverboard scooter market are intensifying efforts to introduce high-speed hoverboards for a competitive advantage. High-speed hoverboards are electric self-balancing scooters designed for increased velocity, often incorporating advanced motors and batteries. In October 2023, Shane Chen, a China-based inventor, introduced the innovative concept of SHANE, a parallel two-wheeled electric car. This concept vehicle, designed to comply with the laws of physics, offers a futuristic driving experience on urban and highway roads. Claimed to be the first-ever practical and efficient two-wheeled car concept combining high speed with energy efficiency, SHANE features large wheels to reduce rolling resistance, in-wheel regenerative shocks, and a shifting center of gravity for stability, making it as secure as a four-wheeled car.
